Tom Pawlik's, "Vanish"

Tom Pawlik's Vanish is about three individuals who awake to find that everyone has disappeared.

Wow, that would be surreal!

I haven't read this book, but I can see how this beginning premise could make for thought provoking fiction. According to Publisher's Weekly, the characters suffer from hallucinations, and are forced to try and decipher reality from the fog in their own minds.



The premise of this book reaches outside the box of "End Times" literature. It's not the traditional telling, as done by The Left Behind Series, and in fact, is more appropriately categorized as a mystery/suspense according to Rebecca Miller. The premise of Vanish delves into the psychology of what it would be like to find oneself alone on the earth, and how one would grapple with that reality.

This sound interesting to you? Go to Tom Pawlik's website for more. And be sure to check out the rest of the CSFF blog tour members featuring the book, Vanish.

Two Interviews and a writing update

Mike and I were pleased to have been interviewed by Amy Deardon over at her blog. If you're interested, check out her interview with us: Part One, and Part Two

Also, Mike and I had a blast recording with The Snarky Avenger over at Snark Invested Waters.
The podcast with Mike and I will be available soon.

WRITING UPDATE:
Mike and I are currently on chapter nine of the sequel to When the Sky Fell. We're also re-polishing "After the Cross," are archeological adventure novel. We hope it finds a home with a big Christian publisher!

Sci-fi short story: "The Seeker"

Digital Dragon is a new Christian sci-fi/fantasy magazine, and I'm pleased to announce that my 1,400 word short story, "The Seeker" is one of the featured stories in their premiere issue.

"The Seeker" Teaser:
A monster from the far reaches of space arrives on Earth searching for one mysterious thing...and he finds a little guide at Lakeview Elementary.

If you decide to give it a read, be forewarned: The magazine gave the story a one sentence teaser, however I'd advise you to skip it, because it's actually misleading.

Digital Dragon is looking for short stories under 1,500 words, that can be enjoyed by all ages, so if you have a story that's on the shorter side, consider giving DD a shot.

Writing/reading?

Okay, some questions for my blogging friends.

1)If you're a writer, what are you working on at present? How's it coming along?

2) What are you reading right now? How is it?

My answers:
My first priority writing project is the sequel to When the Sky Fell. Mike and I are on chapter 8. But I have on the back burner a audio script for Spirit Blade Productions...and it's a sci-fi comedy :)

Right now I'm reading "Crusade," by David Weber and Steve White. It's fun. A good space opera story...I'm only 60ish pages in.

Your turn now!
